I have the same problem, I don't have any cd emulation software installed on my computer and I get this message(This computer has a cd burner and a DVD burner). However, my other computer that has a normal DVD reader, a cd emulation software with 2 logical drive can run the game fine. Maybe the problem come from the cd/dvd burner. Stupid useless cd protection systems...
